include.install.php is missing #8

Closed decadeofdefeat closed 11 years ago

decadeofdefeat commented 11 years ago

The symphony/lib/toolkit/include.install.php file is missing from current master repository. It should be kept in there so that the install will work. Without the include, the install.php does nothing, just shows a blank page.

Nevermind, I see that I should install 1.0 and then upgrade to 2.0 or master.

Curious as to how you found Church Deploy and what you plan on using it for. I'm trying to get more developers actively working on the project.

I'm working as a full time web developer for a church in Buffalo, NY (www.thechapel.com). I'm currently researching PHP frameworks as our current site is very large and we don't use a framework at all. I stumbled upon atheycreek.com a while ago and have been sorta keeping up with your project. I'm not sure if Symphony CMS is for me, as I'm unfamiliar with XLST, but I can certainly contribute if I have some time.

Cool, I dig your site and the look of your church!

XSLT is powerful and the beauty is that it is tag-based like HTML, so it is really easy to begin learning and very powerful. A long-standing member of the Symphony community Brian Zerangue ( http://www.getsymphony.com/get-involved/member/bzerangue/) is helping me do some work in cleaning up the core. We are adding clean URLs and I am doing some massive work on the Athey Creek theme which I will eventually port over to Anchor that is built on Boostrap 3.0RC1, with offcanvas menu and several other features. Member login, event registration/payment, blogs, better multipoint maps and more are on the horizon.

Take a look at our current progress:

If you want a walkthrough of the CMS, I can help get you oriented to Symphony and XSLT. Symphony is an incredibly powerful framework that rivals anything on the market (outside Rails and the like) for extensibility, a robust dev community, and lots of forward-thinking structure and layout. I have used Wordpress and ExpressionEngine and can say that Symphony blows other CMS systems out of the water for its flexibility.

Personally, it had a bit of a learning curve for me, but once that hurdle was overcome, it has proved to be an essential resource in building websites for clients.

Yeah I'd be interested to walk through the CMS if you have time. My email is mgoldsmith@thechapel.com
